      I would imagine it’s pretty special – only a handful of people have ever see that view with their own eyes. What’s cool is that from outside the atmosphere you can actually see the Earth’s atmosphere! When you look at pictures of the Earth from space you can see how the colour changes from a bright blue to black which marks the end of the sky. The Northern and Southern lights are amazing from space too – you get to actually see how the particles interact with Earth’s magnetic field in a way you can’t usually see from Earth.
